Integrated pest management of the sugarcane stemborers Diatraea spp., Elasmopalpus lignosellus and Telchin licus
This work reviews the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of three sugarcane stemborers of economic importance in Panama: Diatraea spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller, 1848) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Telchin licus (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae). An overview of the use of chemical insecticides against these borer species is included, along with the main results and achievements obtained with different agricultural practices and alternative pest management methods such as pheromones bioinsecticides and biological control. This study supports the necessity of developing alternative solutions based on agroecological approaches in the context of more sustainable and climate-smart agriculture interventions in sugarcane and other vital industrial crops in the country.
